Fourteen Senior History Four years ago, we, the Seniors of '51, were the Green Freshmen of '47. We boldly crossed the threshold of 'lYe Olde R. H. S., thinking that at last we were big shots. However, we were rudely shaken from our ethereal pedestal by the majestic upper classmen. Do you remember our Science Class expedition to the Hayden Planetarium and the Museum of Natural History? It was on this memorable occasion that Doris Bowman was hilariously initiated into the confusion of the Big City. Our sophomore year was heralded 'by our Christmas Dance, The Sophomore Spree. Do you recall our tree decorated with painted tin-cans, which Jay Sellers accidentally nailed to the shining surface of the gym floor? Also, it is impossible to forget our own talented Gerry Murphy in the minstrel show. The oomph and style, which he put into his song and dance routine, brought down the house with laughter and applause. ' One year later, we achieved Jolly Junior-hood during which we proudly presented our unforgettable Junior Prom. Two of our Juniors, Ronnie Post and Peggy DeLamater, copped the honors and were crowned King and Queen. It was many days before the King could shake off the label Pretty Boy which Mr. Cullen had bestowed on'him. , - ln Feb. of this same, year, we attained our long awaited class rings. We dis- played these shining school emblems with pride. 1 At last we. reached the goal for which we had been struggling 'these many years. This year wie, The Royal Seniorsf' had much to look forward to. 1 After three preceding years of unsuccessful attempts, we finally became masters in the art of selling. A steady income was derived from candy, soda, food and shirt sales. What about B. Dalmer's unique costumes and routines, which he produced for advertisement's sake? He certainly was the focus of attentionl' And don't forget The Count of Monte Cristo and Guadalmnal Diary which starred in our two successful movie-dances. The G. O. presidential campaign was battled out by Richard Moe Siebold, Gerry Murphy and Ronnie Post. Not only the students but also the town was aroused as Gerry's loyal party formed a parade and rode around town with banners Hying. After the votes were counted, it was found that a revote was necessary between Moe and'Gerry. Aloe won the election, and the other nominees gave a party in the honor, of the new president. The Senior Play entitled Junior Mister starred Harold Hastings, alias Gerry Price's family, whom he considered reasons for much mirth. Frances, helped to reform Harold by using from the clutches of Gloria, better Murphy, who wrote a play about 'lFrances characters, His many predicaments were the character, played by Margie Rogers, psychology. She successfully snatched him known as Joan Sindt. Although we worried about our Hnanoial status, Lady Luck was with us, and in March, We took our much dreamed about trip to Washington, D. C. This was one of the greatest highlights of our senior year. In June, 1951, we reached the end of a long, hard journey. We proudly ac- cepted our diplomas and realized that the hardest job was yet to come-the job of putting our education: to practical use and proving ourselves worthwhile citizens.
